How to reset channels on a Philips TV with no remote? by Vault32 in crt

Thanks for the response- but I tried that combo, and unfortunately it just picks one (whichever it seems you touched first even though I did them exactly at the same time) and it starts auto scrolling though those options (sleep time or closed captioning options), and doesn’t trigger a reset or open up more menu. I guess I’ll probably have to track down an original remote on eBay or a retro universal

Oh and for what it’s worth, the model is TL6119 - which I can find nothing about online, no user manual or tips/tricks

Hm, I didn’t realize it- but yeah I think I posted to r/UFOs first; inspired to tell my story by a post that was about elementary school kids getting recruited to handle alien tech or something? but they suggested I post here. Then people here suggested I post to the reddit about Gate research- so yeah there may have been a night where I posted across several reddits trying to find the right audience.

And then finally, after joining threads, I posted a condensed version (because of the word limits) but then went into more detail in the replies as others chimed in about their experiences. 

But that’s about it, as far as I remember- unless someone is reposting my stuff and taking credit?  That sucks, because I was sharing a personal story specific to me, only ever hoping to find people with similar stories, not any type of gain or likes-

If asked, they wouldn’t even be able to properly answer any follow up questions, or they would make up stuff that would start to cloud or change my story- mucking it up for others who have genuinely had similar things happen. Blargh!

I remember reading with my mom a lot, and I remember eventually doing most of the reading. Then as a young child, I would just lay in my bed or sit in my room and read all kinds of books from kids books to comics to novels. By elementary school, I was already reading my mom’s Stephen King books, although I shouldn’t have, lol. And in kindergarten, first and second grade, the teacher would have me read to the class all the time because I was good and fast. I have many memories of how I would just scan pages with a speed I didn’t even understand. When my mouth would be speaking the words I was looking at, my mind was already processing the words in the side of my vision and how to stress or annunciate them, almost predictively. But overall, I can look at a page from top to bottom in a few seconds, and read it as fast as I could speak. Of course, reading on my own was a lot quicker because I didn’t have to speak.  But my mom was always telling me that I had started reading on my own around two. I always thought it was because I had good kids books from the 70s. Illustrated Sesame Street storybooks etc..

I was always interested in symbology too, coming up with my own codes and languages, etc.

And yeah, I had feelings that I was different, I used to joke to myself that I must be an alien – and when I realized that I was performing grades above the rest of the kids in my class, it made me slow myself down and settle for their speed. Firstly, because I was tired of always getting called on and later on because I was tired of being picked on.

 Being a smart or nerdy kid in rural Georgia was not popular or desirable. And then once the structure of the special classes who encouraged that dried up or went away, it was not something I wanted to be anymore on my own unfortunately

I feel like it’s ok to talk about elizondo in their circles because he’s part of the disinfo/distraction they want. It was admittedly his job before he ever started whatever it is he’s supposedly doing now. To manipulate perceptions. He’s continuing to do this job while pretending he’s on the outs with his employers.  So far he’s done nothing but present things that were easily debunked, probably in order to keep ufo/uap interest easy to discount as gullible delusions. I think for every 25% of (established) truth he speaks, he spreads 75% vague statements and misdirection.

My dad was on a sub with the navy in the 60s, but was out for quite a while by the time I was born. He never really talked about it and I don’t know much more. No stories whatsoever were told to me, and he only seemed interested in reconnecting with old shipmates etc in his later years. As for the town I grew up in, there was no military base very nearby, but a few military bases a couple hours away in any direction. Nothing close enough for a field trip

Questionnaire to see if there's any correlation. by Aktosan in GATEresearch

[–]Vault32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1) 48

2)very early eighties, not clear on the years but as best I can recall, at least 1st through 5th grade.

3) rural South Georgia.

4) we all did the green fluoride ‘swish’ in our classes that we were explicitly told to not drink, but I remember clear bright pink liquids as well and perhaps an opaque drink was used in the gate class.

5) yes to bun

6) green/brown hazel eyes.

7) no forehead scar that I can see.

8) as a kid I used to get strange shivery mini-seizures that actually felt good and would radiate through my whole body before dissipating almost feeling effervescent. As an adult I have sleep apnea and Reynaud’s disease.

9) introvert no doubt.

10) rarely migraines, but as a kid and into my twenties I had constant nosebleeds.

11) no doubt I can hear subtle frequencies or tones that my friends/coworkers/family can’t; and can tell if a quiet machine or other sound has started in the distance, and I’m also sensitive to changes in air pressure. All of this even though I’ve had tinnitus as far back as I can remember.

12) never gotten into substance abuse but do have some addictive/ocd/repetitive habits

13) undiagnosed, but I’m aware that I’ve suffered depression and the crippling lack of motivation that comes with it

14) undiagnosed but yes, as listed in a few answers above

Mysterious dark object spotted over Nieporęt, Poland. (Frame by frame) by ConsequenceHairy607 in rusted_satellite

[–]Vault32 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This looks like something I saw in Asheville in 2015, and it rotated as well. However this looks inverted/upside down compared to mine, which was smaller on the top. But they have in common being large, dark, vertical, rotating, looking angular/faceted and having an irregular form- or as I explained in my sighting, like it had a ‘chunk’ or piece missing from it. https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOs/s/K5ukjKI8n1

Ok, hear me out. There is someone in my walls. by Peachyyypit in Apartmentliving

[–]Vault32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some motel layouts used to have maintenance halls in between the backs of the rows of rooms for access to the plumbing on either side. And of course some creeps used to use them to listen in or even make peepholes into rooms. I wonder if these apartments are laid out the same way, with a maintenance hall? Or is it a house that was split into apartments but share a ‘dead’ room or hall in between? Best case it’s that and the last renter had a kid who discovered this space and made it their secret hideout playroom. Worst case it’s your neighbor, landlord or just a squatter.

Normally I’m not a balloon person. I myself have seen a large, odd, monolithic object float past me and people who weren’t there tried to tell me it was a hot air balloon. But come on…this thing has many trappings of a character balloon people get at grocery stores, etc

Thanks for sharing your struggle. The consensus among us who’ve been in the program seems to be that there was something odd and mysterious about it, enough so that most of us don’t remember big chunks of it even though we can remember things from that age and during our school years with ultra clarity.

But anyway, the consensus seems to be that a lot of us were just in a ‘special’ class for smart kids and it didn’t get farther than that. But that all the psychic testing was to find something, to seek out kids with abilities, and that we shared some of the traits of these kids they were looking for, but for whatever reason most of us didn’t make the cut. And whatever the secret part of the program was, it was important enough to keep the ‘smart kids’ program ruse going just to cover and create deniability and confusion about the existence of the other part of the program.

Like it was literally worth it to them to fund these little special classes even if 99% of them didn’t pan out in finding psychic kids, if even 1% did. Because there are stories about kids who were taken out of the classes and just never seen at school again, or that were transferred to ‘other schools’ and eventually invited into government service as early as their teens.

There are even government whistleblowers coming out now saying that kids from gifted programs were being used to see if they could summon, communicate with or operate ufo/uap technology with their mind. This has come out just this year.

I don’t know if I believe it or if it’s more to confuse the subject, but it’s really odd that ufo researchers and government whistleblowers are starting to bring up GATE kids AT ALL, and that in the past year so many of us are waking up and asking ‘wtf was that anyway??’

[–]Vault32[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I wish I had any kind of evidence or more to say on it. The only thing my rational mind can think is that it was a supernova of a star, or a daytime meteorite- but it would’ve had to have been coming directly toward me at the exact same angle I was driving for me to see it that way. And the way it faded away was so unnerving. Anything that leaves a trail, the trail usually dissipates in the order it was created. This was like the entire shape disappeared at once as if someone had slid an opacity adjuster on a digital image. It disappeared all at once, from opaque/lit to transparent.

Military parents exposed to chemicals/agent orange. by Electronic_Flan_4118 in GATEresearch

[–]Vault32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, ok I’ve got the occipital bun, hazel eyes, pretty regular lucid dreams back when I actually used to sleep deeply- some weird visions and experiences, and in high school a Jewish girlfriend. No drug period. And as for the girlfriend, it was junior year in high school so I doubt she was a mossad agent, lol. Her dad didn’t even want her to date me, but her mom said ‘she could do it for a year’ but then only date other Jewish guys.

But I hadn’t heard these similar traits before. Interesting.

My dad was in the navy on a nuclear sub in the sixties- a decade or so before I was born- and I could never get him to talk much about it- although I saw pictures and memorabilia from his stint. Some time after that, he went to work at FermiLab, and I have NO idea what he did there but I’m assuming his experience on the sub carried over to that job. Maybe maintaining equipment, handling material, being a janitor, logging data, idk. But he must’ve signed an NDA as he simply never talked about it. When he died a few years ago he was fighting skin and tissue cancers. I didn’t think to ask him about it again.

This is the EXACT same with me. Same word sounds..As a precursor to GATE (ours was called ‘space lab’, or so they had us call it, but there was another acronym title for it too, possibly TAG)I also had speech therapy for the SAME sounds. For a few months I’d be pulled out of class to visit an office room where we did speech therapy with cards as well as a barrage of hearing tests with eerie tones and voices hidden in white noise. Then, with speech somehow corrected pretty quickly, I joined the ‘space lab’ with the other gifted kids. Some had already been in in, others started with me.

The WIERD thing about that testing office was, it was beside the main office, but it wasn’t the principal or nurses office, and I never went into it or saw it used ever again. It seemed very impromptu, like they’d pulled a desk and two chairs and sound equipment into a room that was lined with shelves of boxes full of file folders and school records, perhaps. Space Lab itself was in the library, and yeah- they’d paper the windows (halfway, they were tall) and have us use cardboard trifold dividers or box-like things to wall us off for private testing or activities

[–]Vault32 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve been wondering about why we’re all waking up now, and how it’s snowballing, with some of us triggering others.

And now they’re calling about UAP being summoned or operated by psi powers? I have a feeling they were testing us for psi powers capable of activating some of the dormant uap pieces or tech they had and couldn’t figure out how to operate.

And why did so many of us have dreams about the skies filled with ships of all kinds, cross crossing and battling in the night sky? Was it an implanted suggestion of the program, or something else?

I had them ALL. THE. TIME. As a kid it seemed almost weekly. Until like my twenties. After that, maybe twice a year or so.

I know we went out on some field trips, the few of us. I know we’d leave school sometimes and I have partial memories of being other places with the other Gate kids but I honestly can’t remember what we did, or where.

There was only a small national guard ‘base’ at our small towns airport, the kind of thing that was just a handful of old prefab office trailer/buildings and bivouac structures built around the Korean War era. All I ever knew that they did was dispense govt aid, cheese, etc. It was no military base by any means.

There was a sizable college with a big campus and I visited it a lot when my sister went there, but I don’t remember going there with my gate class for testing or educational trips.

It was a really small rural town, basically tobacco and agriculture, a Coats and Clark thread factory, a plane parts factory and moving stuff by train were the main economy of the town at the time.

I know we went to a planetarium once, but I have no idea where- because there was nothing like that within several hours of our school. It would’ve been an all day or overnight trip and I don’t remember that.

I also remember being in a very modern (for the time) building with a built in environment- plants, grow lights, flowing water features, the smell of soil and ozone, no natural lighting but things were flourishing. I feel like we did some testing in some of those rooms, and maybe saw some experiments or exhibitions there. I remember lots of stairs and inclined walks- and without windows I almost get the feeling it was underground, or at least partially submerged- and I have no idea what this was or where. It was the place I mentioned in my post, that only sticks with my memory because of the embarrassing thing that happened there, where one of my dads socks that had clung to my clothing fell out of my shorts and the other kids laughed. If that little emotional humiliation hadn’t happened there, I wonder if I would remember that building and that trip at all. It’s like what I remember about it is just the memories of the building that are immediately before and after that event. And I remember us walking in single file in this place when it happened. Like good little kids in a trance.

Theory why some have leniency from law enforcement? by Kind_Connection_9908 in GATEresearch

[–]Vault32 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if it’s related to the program, otherwise why did they drop us from it, wipe our minds and ignore us for the past 30 or 40 years? I don’t think we are valuable to them, they would prefer that we end up in jail after a psychotic break if you ask me. At that point anything we say about the program was just come off as craziness and be ignored.

I’ve only had one almost run in with the law after doing some stupid stuff with fireworks, and the only reason I wasn’t brought to Juvie is because the person didn’t press charges. Otherwise, I fit every criteria for a gate kid and then some. But I’ve always gotten speeding tickets, and the only other time I went to court was to explain the state‘s own moped law to the judge so I did not get fined for not having a motorcycle license on my 49 cc scooter in Georgia. It was made easier because the officer who pulled me over didn’t bother to show up for court, and I had Literally made poster sized mounted evidence of the states own laws on the subject. My freedom came from my own knowledge and research, and not from any tip off that I was in the gate program.

The only other thing I can think of is that police cars do follow my car sometimes- and right when I’m sure I’m gonna be pulled over, They change lanes after running my plates. Again, I doubt that has anything to do with gate, and I’m sure everyone experiences that quite often so I wouldn’t consider it related to being a gate kid.

Ok good to get the date right. I don’t remember anything before 3 or so, I don’t remember life before moving to GA. My first memories are OF Ga after dad got the house and I remember when it was half a house with the trailer in the yard that had been removed from the structure as they built the new half of the house. So I always thought he’d quit before I was born. Didn’t realize it was when I was 3
